This full-day boat trip from Athens takes you to three islands in the Saronic Gulf over about 10 hours. The tour begins at Marina Zeas, where you board a wooden motorized sailing boat equipped with WiFi and onboard amenities including tea, coffee, snacks, alcoholic and carbonated drinks. The first stop is Agistri, known for its natural surroundings and quiet beaches. You’ll spend roughly an hour and a half exploring the island’s beaches and the village of Megalochori, where traditional houses and taverns provide a relaxed atmosphere. Next, the boat sails to a swimming and snorkeling spot called Metopi (also known as Aponisos or Moni), chosen according to weather to ensure clear, calm waters rich with marine life. You have about 90 minutes to swim or snorkel here using the provided equipment. The final island stop is Aegina, the largest island in the gulf, located 17 miles from Athens. You’ll have two hours to visit the ancient temple of Apollo, known as Kolona, which dates back to the 6th century BC and now has a single standing column. You can also explore beaches like Marathon, Agia Marina, and Perdika, which is noted for its seafood taverns. Pistachios grown here are a local specialty. Cruising time between stops totals around 5 hours, including 2 hours from Marina Zeas to Agistri, 1 hour from Agistri to Metopi and Aegina, and 2 hours returning to Marina Zeas. Lunch is provided on board during the cruise. Optional excursions such as bike tours are not included, and pickup or drop-off beyond 15 km from Athens requires an additional fee.
